Help with EBS issues

Another error pops out-
Script 'EliteBattle_BitmapWrapper' line 368:NoMethodError occured

undefined method 'isVersion17?' for nil:NilClass

are you using Essentials 17?

That seems to be what it's asking.
 
def isVersion17? is a utility function t hat checks if one of the renamed classes exists (if so, probably v17) I think earlier downloads of Marin's copy of EBS missed that function, provided my memory didn't fail me.
Try redownloading it, as I'm sure he's fixed it by now, but worry case scenario, make your own that always returns true for your v17 projects (must return false for v16)
Code: 
def isVersion17?
  return true
end
don't use this unless the new download is also missing EBS.
 
Hey!!I had forgot to Put PositionerScripts.rxdata!!!Thats why i was facing these errors...But What to do with PositionerScripts.rxdata????

I assume that means the bag isn't initialized until it's first opened, and that starting a battle without initializing the bag causes it to crash.

You could try finding the code that initializes the bag, and making it run immediately after the game starts (i.e. just before the first map loads/after the player chooses Continue/New Game).

I guess you can, but you'll probably get the same errors. Computers aren't magical, if you write the same code/do the same things you'll get the same results.

Uh. I don't know what you're asking.

Your error message starts like this:
Code: 
Message: undefined method 'length' for nil:NilClass
PItem_Bag:101:in 'Quantity'
So you're going to have to look at line 101, work out what thing is unexpectedly nil (if the code says something.length then it will probably be the something). And then work out how to prevent it being nil.

That probably means finding the code in Essentials that runs when the bag is opened, and seeing if it does something like:
Code: 
if somethingElse==nil
  somethingElse=...
end
And copying that somewhere useful. Possibly just above line 101. somethingElse may or may not have the same name as something.

That's the quick description of the quick hack to fix the problem.

❧ I wonder... the EBS download includes the resources, but lacks the scripts...
❧ I do, have scripts here, but they're for E v.16, and attempting to use scripts
❧ and resources on v17,2 results in the displaying of Hilbert cosplaying as Red and
❧ the battling pokémon to have their full .png files instead of one frame at once,
❧ with nothing else changed at first glance (soil roundels, background, health bars and interface remain the same)...
❧ Did you find the updated scripts somewhere? Or, did you perhaps update the old scripts by yourself?
❧ If the latter, you could take over the abandoned EBS and be hailed as its resurrector,
❧ without needing to further update it either due to a thing that happened a while ago!

When I use this it gives me a new error:

Script 'EliteBattle_Scene' line 1855: NameError occurred.

Uninitialized constance PokeBattle_Scene::INCLUDEGEN6
 
A lot of these general methods are designed in Luka's Utilities, which is a separate download.
You can get it here.
 
i am getting this error even though I have all the scripts in
